conclusions high hvr diversity among the studied mrsa isolates could be a result of insufficient or inadequate infection-control protocols in tabriz hospitals. moreover, the high number of hvr genotypes showed that hvr typing can be used along with other typing methods in epidemiological studies of mrsa as a useful tool for monitoring, tracking contaminations, and controlling infections in hosp...

in this research a molecular method based on polymerase chain reaction for typing of clostridium perfringens was developed and toxin genotypes of 64 isolates from sheep and goats in iran were determined. the pcr assays were developed for detection of alpha (cpa), beta (cpb) and epsilon (etx) toxin genes, allowing classification of the isolates into genotypes a b, c and d. the field isolates ...

This work is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of generalized (mild or distributional) solutions to (possibly degenerate) Fokker–Planck equations ρt−Δβ(ρ)+div(Db(ρ)ρ)=0 in (0,∞)×Rd, ρ(0,x)≡ρ0(x). Under suitable assumptions on β:R→R,b:R→R D:Rd→Rd, d≥1, this equation generates a unique flow ρ(t)=S(t)ρ0:[0,∞)→L1(Rd) as mild solution sense nonlinear semigroup theory. also class L∞((0,T)×R...

Abstract. Keyboard-typing tracking offers a convenient behavioral data collection method in web-based study settings. This paper investigated the feasibility of utilizing keyboard-typing for stress measurement. We present from two experiments: laboratory with N = 53 participants and an online 924 participants. In both studies, typed standardized text sequences during high-stress or low-stress c...

objective: as we are approaching the global eradication of wild poliovirus, laboratory surveillance of poliovirus by the gold standard cell culture method becomes increasingly important. as there is a lot of concern about accurate and sensitive detection of imported wild and vaccine derived polioviruses (vdpvs) in polio-free countries, in this study we assessed and compared the sensitivity of t...

serology and dna techniques are employed for human leukocyte antigen (hla) typing in different transplant centers. results may not always correlate well and may need retyping with different technique. all the patients (with aplastic anemia, thalassemia, and immunodeficiency) and their donors, requiring hla typing for bone marrow transplant were enrolled in the study. serological hla typing was ...
